On average 155,000 people die each year so considering modern humans have been around for 200,000 years it can be estimated 31,000,000,000 have died since modern humans came into existence.

Naturally, homo-sapiens have existed for 2.2 million years so if you take those into account, the number is obviously FAR higher.

All of them so far and likely all of the current ones as well. Actually the best estimate I could find was about 6 billion. All of them so far and likely all of the current ones as well. Actually the best estimate I could find was about 6 billion.

We do not have exact numbers, but we know that there are roughly 7.1 billion people alive today and roughly 108 billion who have ever lived (going back all the way to the earliest homo sapiens). This means that upwards of 100 billion people have died at some point.

(Prior to the Agricultural Revolution 10,000 or so years ago, the world population was around 5 million people. Assuming an average lifespan of 24 years, the 240,000 year period between the first homo sapiens and the agricultural revolution is 10,000 generations, which gives us 50 billion persons in Pre-History. After this we enter history, when we have population estimates for various empires and regions, which are far higher than the 5 million in Pre-History. We can properly aggregate and calculate these populations, which result in the remaining 58 billion for the 108 billion number.)
